You need to change your stupid mail archiving software that does not

You do realise, of course, that there is a specific reason that the
archive presents mail as it does?
This is a mailing list in which, more often than not, formatted
programming code (ie, procmail recipes) is posted. The formatting of
such code *must* be preserved by the archive -- and the only sure way of
achieving that, when presenting it in HTML, is by wrapping the entire
message in <pre></pre>. This has the desired effect of preserving all
formatting -- including indents, etc, exactly as typed. Any other method
of archiving program-code posts (such as google's method of adding a <br>
in the place of each carriage return) should be considered broken.
Of course, it has the side effect of causing single-line paragraphs to
disappear off the edge of the page.
